Hi Dan:

 

Took a quick look.

 

Thanks a lot for pulling this together. Looks good for the first cut. 

 

Few comments/suggestions for now.

 

1.        having a "dir structure" of the Quantum and short explanation
would be helpful

2.       Under the section 3.4, could you add line suggesting reference
to various plugins README and documents for configuring Plugin specific
.ini files

3.       Section 3.6 run_tests.sh could also be used for high-level
validation, right?

 

4.       Do you think adding Openstack Dashboard Quantum related GUi
info helps here? A section perhaps?

 

5.       Section 4.5 Lack of Keystone integration? I guess we need to
call this out.

 

Cheers.


Ram

Hi folks,

I finished a first cut at an "Administrator Guide" for Quantum
(attached), aimed at administrators who will be installing and running
Quantum.  Its pretty simple right now, but is hopefully enough to get
folks started playing with Quantum + Nova.  

It would be great if someone could take a quick look through the
document (attached) and see if anything jumps out as obviously wrong or
missing.  Hopefully we can get at least one other pair of eyes on it
tomorrow morning, then we can send an email out to the OpenStack list
still on Monday.

Right now, the doc does not include any plugin-specific documentation,
it just tells the user to look at the plugin documentation (e.g., a
README file).  To match the docs, the suggested set of topics to cover
in plugin documentation are: 
- any dependencies required by the plugin.
- editing required plugin config files, performing other plugin setup.
(e.g., installing agents)
- validating that the plugin is properly setup
- setting the appropriate vif-plugging flags for nova-compute

Thanks,

Dan

p.s.  I'll be working with Anne to get her thoughts on where we should
host the Quantum docs given the recent changes in where other OpenStack
projects are hosting their docs.

                Hi netstack,
                
                Its official, the first official Quantum release is
available for download:  https://launchpad.net/quantum/+milestone/2011.3
                
                Thanks to everyone for final push to get the release
tested and out... definitely a team effort.  
                
                We've come a very long way since the Diablo summit only
six short months ago and have a great foundation to build on in order to
reach production quality in the Essex timeframe.  
                
                My plan is to hold off announcing the release to the
main OpenStack list until monday, so I can hopefully get a first cut of
the Administrator docs over the weekend so users have something to guide
them through their first experience with Quantum.  
                
                Enjoy the weekend and hopefully we'll be able to dive
into some doc reviews next week, along with planning for the Essex
summit :) 
                
                Dan
